Exercise starts this Monday, 12 November and runs through the 22nd. Exercise is looking for unconventional ideas about the future of AI and Army operations. Ideas that challenge the status quo, and reveal how AI will be used both at home and on the battlefield.

What is the Army missing in how it thinks about AI?
What technologies seem like science fiction today, but could be everywhere by 2035?
What new CONOPs will evolve…

Please find attached the TRADOC G-2's annually updated Potential Game Changers broadsheet, addressing key disruptive technologies impacting upon the Future Operational Environment's Era of Accelerated Human Progress (now through 2035) and Era of Contested Equality (2035 through 2050).  This update incorporates much of the crowdsourced feedback received from the Mad Scientist Laboratory blog post of the same title…

Do not consider that which you are not. 

Be adaptive, to live limitless.

Seriously. A quiet mind holds value.

WHO:  

The U.S. Army is getting out of its comfort zone and wants to see the best technology out there from small businesses/start-ups. So, it is holding its first ever xTechSearch Technology Pitch Contest. 

WHAT:  

The U.S. Army is seeking innovative technology proposals aligned to its modernization priorities -- go to: https://www.challenge.gov/challenge/army-expeditionary-technology-search-xtechsearch/ and scroll down…

Mad Scientist Call for Ideas: Learning 2050!

Help us with what the future of learning looks like so we maintain our advantage in Soldier Overmatch.

This Call for Ideas is open to everyone, no DoD or Military affiliation required.

PROMPTS

The following prompts aim to inspire your ideas and should not limit your creativity:

Prompt 1: How will emerging technologies improve learning or augment intelligence…

Please see our updated Potential Game Changers handout, addressing the impact of potentially disruptive technologies.  Understanding their individual and convergent impacts is essential to continued battlefield dominance in the Future Operational Environment.

"The Operational Environment (OE) is a combination of conditions and variables that impact a commander's decision-making and his/her ability to employ capabilities.  The OEs of today and the future will be marked by instability.  The combination of this instability with the dizzying advances being made in technology and the increased velocity of human interaction means that the OE will present an array of threats…

Members,

It is known that the feed for the Mad Scientist page is not loading.  We have been working with the APAN support desk since it was determined the day after scheduled maintenance that it occurred.  Asking everyone who encounters this problem to fill out a support ticket to the support desk.  The more people who report; hopefully, the quicker they will respond and get the issue resolved.   We apologize for any inconvenience…

Research into quantum image processes, encryption and steganography

A new page has been added to the Mad Scientist Community Site.  It is called "Articles of Interest".  From time to time, members find articles that fit in with the mission of Mad Scientist and we like to share with everyone.  You will find that when articles are posted to Mad Scientist pages, they first show up on the feed as the first announcement.  You will know find that we keep them all in a specific part of…
